Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 0.5 cup slivered almonds
- 2 pieces egg white
- 0.25 cup low-fat milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, old-fashioned oats, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg whites until smooth.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gradually add in the low-fat milk and continue to stir until the batter is uniformly moist.
Fold in the slivered almonds to the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.
Cut into 12 equal bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
